Yellow Rose Gala Foundation

YRGF is an active 501(c)(3) that has the drive and vision to forever rid the world of multiple sclerosis. Through this initiative the Yellow Rose Gala Foundation has partnered with the National MS Society, where 100% of the net proceeds raised go directly to progressive MS research through the International Progressive MS Alliance.

Dee and Jimmy Wynne established the Gala in 1986 shortly after Dee’s diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis. The YRG became one of the most prominent social events in Dallas, netting over $6 million for MS research. Fallon Wynne Way and Todd Wynne are carrying on the Gala with the help of active community leaders and passionate Yellow Rose Gala supporters.
